We’re going for complete arena saturation!

That’s right, I want every arena map you have! If you have one in the works, on the sidelines, or lurking in the back of your mind—I want it, and soon! I want to see more arena maps getting made, so I’ve decided to make a little (informal) event to encourage people to try it out. I'll be making one for this myself, too!


When and where will we be running the maps?

January 6th at noon PST. I will be hosting on the US map testing server.


What kind of arena maps are we talking about?

Any kind! As long as they have some kind of functioning arena logic and follow the basic TF2maps rules, they’re welcome. That means hybrid gamemodes like arena/payload race are fair game.


What maps will be included?

Whatever you link in the replies! If there's a finished arena map you'd also like to see run, post it here and I'll take a look.
To start a list, here are a few of my picks:


As we get closer to the event I'll add some of your picks to the list. Thanks for all the suggestions!

If you link something, let me know if you want testing feedback on it, since this is half-test and half-gameday. It'll help me keep track of things. Thanks!

Ive been waiting for this for a while!
First Ill have to shamelessly plug my own maps here, Priority, Combine, and Research. I got good reception on both and I know some people cant get enough of priority
I really like Tinyrock, Staple, Granule, Iceshelf, and Seashore. Also I know they are in the game But it would be cool to play Byre and Perks as they both originated from here and arent played as much. (And Bridge is pretty cool) (OH I FORGOT ABOUT MINOTAUR)

1. Aerial (no TF2Maps DL)
2. Arakawa (TF2Maps DL doesn't work)
3. Barley
4. Chounai
5. Exhaust
6. Generator (no TF2Maps DL)
7. Iced
8. Mach (no TF2Maps DL)
9. Mochville
10. Northural
11. Quarry Town
12. Refinery (no TF2Maps DL)
13. Scorched (no TF2Maps DL)
14. WoW (no TF2Maps DL)
15. Yunshu (no TF2Maps DL)
16. Machine
17. Sacrifice (TF2Maps DL is outdated)

I tried going for a mix of theme/gameplay variety, as well as a high variance in map age. I haven't had a chance to play a proper game with most of these since, well, Arena Mode, but I hope they are all of high quality!

Well I would like to suggest my map Seashore, mostly cause it's 2CP arena, something that I don't see very often, and also because so far it's the map i'm most proud of.

Would love to get my arena map I'm working on, Airbase, in there. It's currently a3 and I haven't been working on it but this might encourage me to get a new version up and running before then.

I have a submission that I think people would find interesting to play. Arena_guppies is a medieval mode joke map set in a fishtank where players can swim around. Rounds tend to end fast so it shouldn't overstay it's welcome. I've been sitting on this map for a while, so I've decided to dust it off and touch it up for a gameplay session.

I've made Yarm as an arena map, so I'll put it here: Yarm ... I'm working on another one right now but we'll see if it gets to see the light of day

I could have sworn I compiled with hdr, but here's a new version that will hopefully solve the hdr issue.
